This immortal cannot be cultivated anymore

Chapter 388 Searching for Lost Memories

It's been a long time indeed.

Even Ji Bieqing didn't expect that in just two years...

Her original intention was just to send him to a refuge and assign him a task. She didn't even have any expectations on whether he could complete it. It could only be said that it was a casual move.

But in fact, what the other party accomplished was far beyond her imagination.

Not only that, in just two years, he turned the Sheng Dynasty upside down, seduced the emperor of the Sheng Dynasty, and took the entire Sheng Dynasty's foundation into his pocket.

He was just asked to be an undercover agent, but who could have thought that in less than three years, he had transformed himself and become the boss?
Moreover, his cultivation has reached a level that ordinary people cannot reach in decades.

Ji Bieqing looked at Lin Yuan.

There was a smile on the corners of his lips, and a hint of loneliness in his eyes...

She knew that it was no longer possible for her to monopolize Lin Yuan, as she and Sheng Chao had an inseparable bond.

And it just so happened that she was the one who took the initiative to send the other person away.

Thinking of this, she sighed sincerely, "Your Highness, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Your Highness, you are really joking!"

On the contrary, Lin Yuan, with a smile on his face, walked out of the teleportation array side by side with Li Yaoyao, as if the two-year separation had never happened.

She greeted Ji Bieqing and her eyes naturally fell on the person behind her.

He smiled and said, "Commander Lin, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Yes, Lin Yuan, I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Lin Yan's expression was much more complicated than Ji Bieqing's.

He had always been optimistic about Lin Yuan, but after discovering Lin Yuan's identity as an immortal cultivator, he went into battle with him. There was even a fierce conflict between the two sides... In a sense, Lin Yuan had to go abroad, and Lin Yan played a great role in this.

But after hearing what Ji Bieqing said, it was possible that Lin Yuan was not troubled by the whispers of the residual consciousness from beginning to end.

He had found a method to make cultivators immune to the whispers of residual consciousness a long time ago. Even though the Xuan Dynasty officials were hunting him down, he selflessly left this method behind before he left.

Especially later, after Ji Bieqing invited Lin Yan to participate in several experiments on isolating the residual consciousness whispers of cultivators and source masters.

Lin Yan then realized that he had become a bad guy without realizing it.

In comparison, Lin Yuan was being hunted but still missed his homeland and left behind the priceless information. Once the two were compared, the difference was obvious.

So when he saw Lin Yuan again, Lin Yan felt a little...

"Alas... I was too narrow-minded. I didn't know enough about immortal cultivators. I didn't even want to listen to your explanation, so I rushed to attack you, forcing you to leave your hometown. I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter."

Lin Yan sighed deeply, bowed to Lin Yuan, and said, "So when I heard Your Highness say that you had returned, I came here to apologize to you... My apology has nothing to do with the fact that Xuan Dynasty now needs to rely on your power. It's purely because I framed Zhongliang..."

"You are too kind, Commander."

Lin Yuan had no complaints against Lin Yan.

In other words, after Lin Yan discovered Lin Yuan's identity, he still repeatedly reiterated that he could spare his life.

Lin Yuan supported Lin Yan and said with a smile: "I have always felt the importance that the commander places on me. I can only say that you don't know much about the existence of immortal cultivators."

"Just don't blame me."

Lin Yan sighed and said, "I am old and can't keep up with you young people. I have invited Miss Lin Zhengying from the Law Extermination Department to join the ace corps of the Colonial Armored Mecha. Although she is an Originator, she is also a Colonial Armored Mecha. If she is a promising talent, I can consider retiring after she can stand on her own."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment.

This statement reveals a lot of meaning.

The Colonial Mecha is the foundation of the Xuan Dynasty. It is difficult to replace it whether it is the immortal cultivators, the source masters, or even the new warriors of today.

Why did the Sheng Dynasty need Lin Yuan, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, to act as a stabilizer when the ancient cultivators arrived? On the contrary, the Xuan Dynasty was able to quickly stabilize the situation with just some information, and those ancient cultivators were subdued and captured before they could even stir up any waves?

In the meantime, these colonial mechas played a huge role.

But now, he did not hand over this pillar of the country to others, but instead handed it to Lin Zhengying, who possessed the identities of both the Source and the Immortal Cultivator.

There might be some hint from Ji Bieqing behind this.

Plus the current situation...

I think the reason why he agreed so readily might have something to do with Lin Yuan.

After all, who doesn't know that Lin Yuan joined the Law Enforcement Bureau because he accidentally teamed up with Lin Zhengying to solve a case and thus got involved?

Lin Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I am old and can't keep up with the times. I heard from His Highness that the number of immortal cultivators has not increased much, but their foundation has been deepened countless times. Maybe in two years at most, the Colonial Mecha will no longer face these weak immortal cultivators, but ancient cultivators who truly have hundreds of years of experience and wisdom. The power of the Colonial Mecha is very strong, but a fragile and ignorant leader can easily give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. What I can do is to try my best to train a qualified new leader while I still have some strength."

Lin Yuan said: "Commander, you are too kind."

Lin Yan explained: "I chose Lin Zhengying not only because she can strike a balance between being a cultivator and a colonizer, but also because I have seen her before and she is indeed excellent. After all, I cannot entrust such a pillar of the country to me just because of my personal preferences."

"Of course I know this, but you made the right choice by choosing her. Xiaoying is lucky in Sheng Dynasty. Her Thunder Mecha has evolved into a colonization mecha specifically for cultivators. The reason why I didn't let her come back this time is because I'm gone, and Sheng Dynasty needs a stabilizer."

"Mechas can evolve autonomously?"

Lin Yan asked in genuine amazement.

"That's right. If mobile phones can evolve, why can't mechas? Although the Colonial Mecha is powerful, it is only the result of technology. If it can be enhanced by the immortal way, its power will naturally be extraordinary. Regarding this, when I have time, I can let the commander see my evolved Flame Dragon Mecha!"

"Then I'll wait for you." Seeing that Lin Yuan had no intention of blaming him, the two of them now put aside their past grudges.

Lin Yan relaxed a lot.

He didn't say anything more to Lin Yuan, but gave his seat to Ji Bieqing.

The situation in Xuan Dynasty is so tense now. Lin Yuan came here at this time, it must be something extremely important.

As expected, Ji Bieqing got down to business right away, praising, "Lin Yuan, I have heard about what you did in Sheng Dynasty. You sent all the Condensation Realm cultivators back to that extraterritorial space. You did a great job."

"It's just a temporary solution. They are still alive and may come again soon. We don't have a way to kill them completely. It would be a waste of time to attack them..."

Lin Yuan repeated what he had said to Ji Xuanya to Ji Bieqing again, and sighed sincerely: "If we can't master the method to completely destroy them, our strength will only get less and less. The arrival of the ancient times did not happen all at once, but was a slow erosion. However, although this erosion is slow, it cannot be stopped. We can only watch ourselves being digested bit by bit."

Ji Bieqing said thoughtfully: "So the purpose of your coming back this time is..."

Lin Yuan said: "I want to regain the memory of my ancestors."

"Memories of our ancestors? What does that mean?"

"Yes, because my ancestor was one of the ancient monks."

In fact, up to now, even if Lin Yuan told everything, no one would dare to have any objection.

Who else in this world is qualified to threaten me?

The cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage and the unique connection with the thunder tribulation.

All of these made Lin Yuan feel...

I have a sense of responsibility to protect my world and prevent it from being invaded by those damn ancient monks.

However, if these people who are extremely close to him knew that he was the Whispering Remnant, they would probably be shocked, so Lin Yuan changed his statement.

He explained, "Many of the ancient cultivators recognized me, or because my appearance was too similar to my ancestor, they thought I was my ancestor. Then, I pretended to be my ancestor and got some clues from them. For example, the reason why the ancient cultivation world was destroyed was that this matter was more or less related to my ancestor."

He explained to Ji Bieqing in detail the relationship between the ancient fairyland and the thunder tribulation.

Ji Bieqing, who was listening directly, was dumbfounded.

I didn't expect that the ancient secrets would be known to her in such a way.

"The world consciousness actually possesses wisdom, and we are just like cells attached to it? Now the most powerful cell wants to rebel and escape from its control, so it simply rebuilt the world, and this is how our world came into being?"

Ji Bieqing looked at Lin Yuan with deep amazement in his eyes, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that I would have the honor to listen to this ancient secret. So the reason you want to find your ancestor's memory is because you want to find a way to restart the ancient fairyland?"

"There are only three ways to resolve this crisis!"

Lin Yuan said: "A method to completely destroy the Whisper of Remnant Consciousness, a method to seal off the extraterritorial space, or a method to restart an ancient fairyland so that these ancient cultivators can go somewhere. As long as any of these three paths can be taken, then we can rest assured. The worst case scenario is just returning to the original state."

Ji Bieqing understood what Lin Yuan meant by the initial state.

Immortal cultivators still exist, but if they are killed they will die, and they can continue to hunt down these immortal cultivators.

Although the ancient monks' strength has greatly improved after they took over their bodies...

But with the blessing of the new martial arts, the Sourcers no longer have to worry and can fully unleash their own cultivation. With the combination of immortal martial arts, their strength has also been greatly enhanced.

If both sides have improved, it means that neither side has improved.

You must know that those who practice Taoism have shackles.

The new martial arts has just emerged, and the Tianren realm that has been developed to its extreme may not be inferior to the Ningdan realm. If the stalemate lasts for a long time, it is possible that the new martial arts will have the upper hand.

She shook her head and sighed, "We have paid so much. If we just want to restore the original state, no one will be satisfied. If possible, I still want to solve the problem once and for all."

"What is the current situation of Xuan Dynasty?"

"very good!"

Ji Bieqing glanced at Lin Yuan meaningfully and said, "The first batch of the most outstanding Whispering Remnants of Consciousness that came under the protection of the Cloud Sea Spirit Realm were controlled in time, and then through the means you left behind, these Whispering Remnants of Consciousness were completely expelled. They didn't have time to cause too much chaos in the Xuan Dynasty, and our losses were not small."

At this point, Ji Bieqing sighed and said, "In the beginning, I didn't know about the existence of Yunhai Spirit Realm, and those Source Lords were the first to mutate, so I had to make a heroic move and send them all to retirement. But it can't be considered a loss. They are all very old. Even if they can still burst out strong enough combat power, the price will probably require them to pay with their lives. They have dedicated their entire lives to Xuan Dynasty, and I don't need them to die on the battlefield to hand in a perfect test paper for their lives. I would rather their lives have some flaws so that they can have a happy and satisfying life in their later years."

Lin Yuan sighed sincerely: "Your Highness is merciful."

Ji Bieqing said helplessly: "You are hurting me again."

"No, I really think that Your Highness has taken great care of your subordinates. Working under Your Highness, they don't have to worry about being abandoned. I think they gave up their powerful strength without hesitation and chose a comfortable old age, because it was Your Highness who chose it for them, and you must have done it for their own good."

"It's a pity that hard work can't be exchanged for sincerity."

Ji Bieqing sighed, "I still have some secrets about you. Oh, no, I am no longer a subordinate. I am just a little princess. When I meet the prince of Shengchao in the future, I may have to pay my respects to him. Ah, I can't use the name I call myself anymore. Do I need to call myself a concubine? It doesn't seem appropriate..."

"Your Highness is joking."

Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It was mainly about the safety of my best friend. Plus, I hadn't mastered the method to resist the whispers of residual consciousness at that time, so I could only keep it secret for the time being. I was hunted down just after I got the method. I was in a panic and didn't have time to tell you too much. Fortunately, the captain handled it properly..."

Li Yaoyao hummed in an unfathomable manner, indicating that he was indeed very deep.

Ji Bieqing nodded and said, "Well, so after all, it's all Lin Qing's fault."

Lin Yan: “……………………”
